The Power of the Purge
P.U.R.G.E. — say goodbye to what no longer serves you.
New Year's is a symbolic time for letting go of the old and embracing the new. But why wait until then?
One of the most satisfying rituals I dedicate time to is clearing out things in my personal space that no longer serve me or spark joy. 'Why am I keeping this?' is the question I ask myself with each item. We keep some things for sentimental value, some because we say we'll do something with them, some clothes because one day we think we'll wear them again. But guess what? We cannot LIVE in the past, only the present. In the present, we can ACT to make way for our future selves.
We cannot LIVE in the past, only the present. In the present, we can ACT.
This is the purpose and the power of the PURGE. When you remove things from your home, you remove weight, open up spaces, and create positive energy. The main focus of a purge is ACTION:
- Pull out your drawers, bins, and open your closets
- Unlock your storage unit and/or your safe
- Review what you plan to keep, donate, or throw away
- Get boxes or bags to pack what is leaving
- Eliminate the presence of those things in your space
Now, let's finish lighter and stronger.
